i wish her all the success in the world, just wish there were two titles on the line that weekend to take some of the pressure off of wmma since it's still emerging and gaining acceptance. Make it a "we are here and belong here with the men" instead of "we are ready to carry an event".

I have NP with her headling a card, but it shoulda been an FX card not a PPV. If Cyborg was the opponent then sure, but she is such a heavy favourite and people aren't expecting much of a fight. You wanna pay 60 bucks to see Rhonda armbar another girl in 2 mins that's on you.

UFC screwed themselves here by putting her in the Main Event of a PPV for the debut of WMMA in the UFC. I get that the champ should get top billing....but nothing was stopping them from putting another title fight on the same card that could have gotten the main event and let Rousey/Carmouche have co-main. They've done that with the lighter weight titles plenty of times. The event would still get just as much coverage with her as co-main so I don't see the downside.
